On Friday March 16th 2012, Queens borough MC Noreaga was in town to perform at the Opera House in Toronto. The MC has been in Canada before, however this was his first time ever performing in city. Before the show, I had the opportunity to sit down with Noreaga and discuss a variety of topics. We touched on married life, his distinct slang vocabulary, and the famous politician that follows him on twitter. Noreaga did not hold back on anything making for a great chat and interview.

Check out our interview with STS Gold. For now check out the photos below.
I’ve been tryin to think of funny ish to comment on but I’ll leave that up to everyone’s imagination. Even though the “beef” is done I thought this was ironic.
A star is born. I’m surprised Hov and Beyonce have shared pictures of their baby this quick! But I think everyone was curious of how Blue Ivy Carter looked like. These are some amazing pictures. Earlier today I talked about how Jay and Beyonce trademarked their daughter’s name and today they release pictures of their child. I hope it’s not to try to make a business of her daughter…but who am I to judge? Check out these amazing pictures.
Update: After a discussion with a friend, I realize that it’s a smart move on her parents to release these pictures. If they wanted to keep Blue Ivy a secret just think of how crazy paparazzi would go to try to get a picture and whoever got the first pictures would probably get a lot of money for the premier. So by Hov and B releasing the pictures first they prevent that situation…smart move.
We released our interview with Sonreal earlier this week make sure to check it out. Our photographer #ShotbyDrew Presents yet another amazing set of photos of Sonreal during our interview. As usual just click gallery at the top to check out our all photos on The Come Up Show.
You gotta love the internet! Chicago-based designer Custom De Vasquez, unleashes his “You Canada Dry” t-shirt, inspired by Common’s line towards Drake. I do have to give it to Custom De Vasquez, this is very quick thinking. I hope he doesn’t get sued by Canada Dry though. Hit up Custom at: custom520@gmail.com, or check out his Facebook page if you want to order a t-shirt.
Less than a month ago our photography Drew aka #ShotbyDrew got to cover the Rick Ross concert in Toronto. Rozay looks like he definitely rocked the Sound Academy!! Drew as usual got some amazing photos, you can see the set list, the crowd, Rozay titties and much more LOL, just KIDDING!
After looking at these photos I was thinking Rick Ross wouldn’t be as popular if he was skinny….random thought I know but you think we would love him as much if he weighed 150 pounds? Could he say “I’m the biggest BOSS” with the same demeanour? HA okay just enjoy these photos and as always check out the photo gallery for more amazing photography.
UPDATE: Check out the Interview with T-Minus.
Ladies and Gentleman as promised this Monday January 9, 2012 is the release of our first interview of the year. Grammy nominated, multi platinum producer T-Minus. What I love about this interview is that this man is responsible for so many hits and people are just starting to get to know his name. T-Minus has produced hits like DJ Khaled’s I’m On One, Lil Wayne’s She Will, Nicki Minaj Moment For Life, Ludacris’ How Low, T.I.’s Poppin Bottles, and he produced four tracks on Drake’s latest album Take Care; Underground Kings, HYFR, We’ll Be Fine, The Motto.
The LIST GOES ON AND ON. For the first time in the world, The Come Up Show is going to do it right and introduce this man to the globe. We visited him in his hometown Ajax, Ontario where he welcomed us into his home with open arms. He showed us his beat making process, talked about how Drake is an amazing producer, what music means to him and much more.

Hailing from Seattle known mostly for Ken Griffey JR’s glory days on the Seattle mariners and the prodigious space needle, Seattle is not explicitly known for breeding MC’s and hip hop like New York or LA. What others might view as an impediment to mainstream stardom, I think it adds a special element to Macklemore as an MC and performer. Having been to a few hip-hop shows with performers from across the globe I can say I’m all too familiar with rappers from more prominent regions performing with a sense of entitlement and giving less than a 100 percent because they happen to be from a notable city.
